POVERTY IN WASHINGTON.

There is a large class of men in
Washington who are in a most impe
cunious condition and who make
heavy drafts upon the purses and pa
thence of those with whom they man
age to become acquainted. Some have
been rotated out of official duties.
which has untitled them for any other
business. Others imagine that the
party in power owes them an office
either at home or abroad and some
have claims which, if allowed, would
make them wealthy, but all wait, and
it has been truthfully said that they
are getting broker and broker"
every day. They sleep in cheap
lodgings, eat where it is convenient
and drink every time they are asked.
They are good fellows for the most
part, and they were once respectable
citizens at home, but they are stuck
fast in Washington and cannot get
away. They bear a worn and anx-
ious cast of face and only smile, as
stated above, when invited. Poltl-
cal cripples they are, waiting for the
waters of Sloan to be troubled, and
it will be a long time before their
wants are granted. Meanwhile they
modestly request the loan of dollar
until the first of next month. De-
MED, they ask for fifty cents-nay,
they will take quarter, and | once
had one to fall back on demand for
a horse car ticket. was afterward
told that at a neighboring bar two
horse car tickets were regarded as
equivalent for one dram of bad whis-
ky. We have dark shadows with the
bright Washington lfe.-Philadel-
phia Times.

A MERITED REBUKE,

A gentleman prominent in legal
circles in Boston was recently riding
in train, and in the seat before him
was young and gaily dressed dam
sci. The car was pretty full, and
presently an elderly woman entered,
and, finding no seat vacant but the
one beside the young lady mentioned,
sat down beside her. She was de-
Gently dressed woman but apparent
ly of humble station, and she carried
several clumsy bundles, which were
evidently serious annoyance to her
seatmate. The young woman made
no effort to conceal her vexation, but
in the most conspicuous manner
showed the passengers around her
that she considered it an imperti-
nent intrusion. for the new conner TO
presume to sit down beside her. In
a few moments the old woman depos-
tied her packages upon the seat, and
went across the car to speak to an
acquaintance she discovered on the
opposite side of the aisle. The law
yer leaned forward to the offended
young lady and courteously asked if
she would exchange seats with him.
A smile of gratifed vanity showed
how pleased she was to have attract
ed the notice of such distinguished
looking gentleman. "Oh, thank YOU,
ever SO much she said effusively,
Il should like to, but it would be as
bad for you as for me to sit beside
such an old woman" Il beg your
pardon" he said with undiminished
Difference of manner, sit was not
your comfort l was thinking of, but
the old lady's. - Boston Herald.

EDITING WITH SCISSORS.
Philadelnhia Cnll

The above remark is frequently
made in connection with newspapers,
and is too frequently meant as slur.
On the contrary, under proper cir
cumstances, it should be regarded as
compliment of a high character.
The same paper may be ably edited
with the pen and miserably edited
with the scissors A mistaken idea
prevails that the work of the latter
is mere child's play, sort of hit-or-
miss venture, requiring hardly any
brains and still less judgment that
the promiscuous and voluminous
clippings are sent in patches to the
foreman, and with that the editors
duty ends and that of the foreman
begins.
Instead Of this, the work requires
much care and attention, with keen
comprehension OF the fact that each
days paper has it's own needs. The
exchange editor is "A pains-taking,
conscientious, methodical man, al
ways on the alert, quick in apprecia-
ton, retentive in memory, shrewd in
discernment. He reads closely, culls
carefully, omits and amends, discards
and digests, never ignoring the fact
that variety is great essential. There
are sentences to recast, words to soft
en-, redundances TO prune, errors to
correct, heading TO be made, credits
to be given, seasons to be considered,
atfinities to be preserved, consisten-
cies to be respected. He knows
whether the matter is fresh or stale,
whether it is appropriate, and wheth-
er he has used it before, he remem-
bers that he is catering for many
tastes; he makes raids in every di-
rection he lays the whole newspa-
per field under contribution: he per-
sistently "boils down., which with
him is n OF process OF rewriting, but
happy faculty of expunging with
out destroying sense or continuity.
His genius is exhibited in the de-
partment, the items of which are sim
liar and cohesiye-in the suggestive
heads and sub-heads, in the sparkle
that is visible, in the sense Of graft
fication which the reader derives.
No daily paper can be exclusively
original it would die Of ponderosity.
Life is too short, and hence an em-
barge must be laid upon the genius
of its rivals. A bright clipped arti-
Gle is infinitely better than a stupid
contributed article. The most sue
cessful paper is the paper that is IN
diligently and consistently edited in
all its departments, whether by pen
or scissors.

MAKE THEM WORK.

The most imESrtant lesson ever
taught child, is the lesson of self
support. Indeed child knows moth
ing till this lesson has been practical
~ solved. individuality, in the sense
OF self-action, is the ineffaceable mark
God designed to be placed upon every
child of man. 1t is an exchange
able law Of mans nature, that all,
that every one shall work.
This lesson of self-reliance should
begin long before the child can speak
and whatever the child itself can do
should not be done for it. When it
begins to walk, for instance, if it fall,
let it lie there till it shall have ex-
hausted all OF its own strength and
skill IN an effort to rise, before YOU
offer your assistance. The lesson Just
here is, make the child believe and
feel that it can take care of itself.
And make your child work from
the day it is able to do anything, and
let there be no idle periods in its
life.
We are not aggressive, therefore
not progressive, because more than
half of onr people have not been
taught to work and many of those
who have, have always done it in
pertunctory and half hearted way.
How sad our heart, when we see a
boy running loose about the streets
or wandering over the fields or wood,
asking the devil "What shall / do
next :"

Another curious case of apparent
sensation in a member of the body
after it had been amputated comes
from Florida. George W, Clay's
arm was amputated, put in a box, and
buried. Soon afterward he began to
complain that the fingers on the bur
led had were cramped and that there
was sand between them. His physi-
clan and his sister had the box dug
up and opened, and found the fingers
cramped and the sand between, Just
as George had said They arranged
the arm properly and reburied it.
Clay said while they were gone he
felt an awful pain in the amputated
arm, and then came sensation of
great relief, and there was no longer
the old cramped sensation in his
hand.

Every citizen owes duties to the

are many and various. Chief among
them is his duty to lead moral life,
